Jim Gaffigan on Trump’s Jokes and Patel’s FBI Shake-Up
Comedian Jim Gaffigan reflected on the surreal experience of performing at the Al Smith Dinner, describing Donald Trump’s unorthodox comedic style as “performing on his heels” and surprisingly “killing the entire time.” Gaffigan also joked about parenting his five kids: “Every Monday morning is kind of a surprise for them. Like, ’What? There’s school?’” Then, journalist Mary Ann Akers dissected Kash Patel’s controversial FBI nomination, noting his plan to create a “museum of the deep state” and his intent to use the FBI for political revenge. “He has a long enemies list,” she explained, “and it’s not just Democrats—it’s Republicans too.”The Skinny with Jim Gaffigan is now streaming on HuluHave a question or comment for us?
